Elevated Lipoprotein(a) Levels are Associated with Arterial Stiffness Measured by Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Arterial stiffness (AS) can be used to predict future cardiovascular diseases. High lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels were independently correlated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and death in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a useful biomarker of arteriosclerotic disorders and has a close relationship with a variety of CV events. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum Lp(a) levels and AS in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) using the CAVI. Methods: A total of 86 adult patients who were on regular PD for at least 3 months were recruited in this study. The CAVI values were determined using the waveform device (VaSera VS-1000). A CAVI value of Results: Among these participants, 35 of 86 (40.7%) belonged to the high CAVI group. In contrast to those with a normal CAVI, PD recipients in the high CAVI group had higher serum levels of total cholesterol ( Conclusions: Serum Lp(a) levels were postulated to participate in the pathogenic processes of AS in adult patients undergoing PD.
